HeavyMMA.com’s Spencer Kyte feels like he’s beating a dead horse, but he writes that MMA judging has serious flaws and now is the time to correct them.
Hearing Mike Williams announce the judges had come to a unanimous decision in the main event of Bellator 41 had me hopeful. Then Joe Warren was declared the winner and I knew the topic of one of the pieces I would spend my Sunday writing.
We’ve been down this road many times, but just because we’ve covered how atrocious judging in mixed martial arts can be at times doesn’t mean we shouldn’t continue to talk about it. This epidemic is not something that should be glossed over or left alone, looked at as a “well what are you going to do?” situation that is impossible to resolve.
Each bad decision should be met with the same amount of criticism and scrutiny, whether it comes from the UFC Octagon, the staggering heat of Bellator’s cage in Yuma, Arizona or some bush league show in Costa Rica where Ferrid Kheder gets gifted a win over Hermes Franca. The inexcusable mistakes of incompetent officials must be brought to light if we ever want to see them come to an end.
None of the three officials scoring the bout between Warren and Marcos Galvao should be allowed to determine the outcome of a fight again, at least not without undergoing some kind of training and testing course first. The fact that none of the three gave Galvao the victory when just about everyone else in attendance and watching at home is alarming enough, but that one of the three gave Warren all three rounds is appalling.
In his first playoff game as a Knick, Carmelo Anthony posted 15 points, four rebounds, four assists and two steals. That’s not a terrible line, but one look at his crunch time stats — 0-for-3 (all three-pointers) and two turnovers in the final 5:05 — reveals that he did not play well down the stretch. In fact, he was pretty much a no-show in the entire second half, scoring just three points on 1-for-11 shooting (0-5 from 3PT).
Carmelo has to play better if the Knicks are going to win tight games against the grizzled Celtics, who won the game, 87-85.
As bad as Anthony played, Amare Stoudemire was rolling. He posted 28 points (on 12-of-18 shooting) and 11 rebounds, and it’s a mystery why the Knicks didn’t go to him more down the stretch.
There’s more sad news about Bryan Stow this weekend.
According to report by FOX Sports.com, the 41-year-old Giants fan who was brutally assaulted on March 31 at Dodger Stadium was placed back into a medically induced coma on Saturday due to “a recurrence of seizures” related to his head trauma.
Bryan Stow remains in critical condition, according to Rosa Saca, spokeswoman for the Los Angeles County + University of Southern California Medical Center.
Stow, 42, will be monitored closely for the next few days to see when it may be possible to reduce the medication again, Saca said. Stow sustained possible brain damage in the attack.
I have no idea what Stow’s family is going through but they continue to be in my thoughts. Hopefully Bryan continues to fight and eventually, his family will get to speak to him soon.
It’s a shame that the animals that did this haven’t been caught yet. A reward of at least $120,000 has been promised for information leading to the arrests of the two thugs responsible. Justice needs to be served here, although the more important thing is that Bryan be able to make a recovery.
On a side note, kudos to those who have raised or donated money to help pay for Stow’s medical expenses. The specific numbers aren’t important, but the Giants and Dodgers have raised and donated money, as has pitcher Tim Lincecum. Every little bit helps.
Check out this back and forth in the final minutes of the Grizzlies 101-98 win over the Spurs.
2:27 MEM – Marc Gasol missed two free throws (Grizzlies lead by 4)
2:09 SAS – Matt Bonner made three-pointer (Grizzlies lead by 1)
1:47 MEM – Tony Allen missed two free throws
1:28 SAS – Matt Bonner made three-pointer (Spurs lead by 2)
1:07 MEM – Mike Conley turnover
1:06 SAS – George Hill made two free throws (Spurs lead by 4)
0:56 MEM – Marc Gasol made layup (Spurs lead by 2)
0:31 SAS – Tony Parker missed 16-foot jumper
0:23 MEM – Shane Battier made three-pointer (Grizzlies lead by 1)
0:10 SAS – George Hill missed three-pointer
0:10 MEM – Tony Allen made two free throws (Grizzlies lead by 3)
0:01 SAS – Richard Jefferson missed three-pointer
What’s the point? The wheels almost came off for the Grizzlies after four straight missed free throws and the Conley turnover, but Memphis showed some resiliency and fought back to retake the lead. Typically, if you give the Spurs a four point lead with 1:06 to play, they’re going to close out the win 90% of the time (I’m guessing), so the fact that the Grizzlies fought back to win their first ever postseason game is quite impressive.
San Antonio better get its act together. Without Manu Ginobili, they just aren’t the same team and they need to gut out a win or two to keep themselves afloat until he can get back. The Grizzlies are a very dangerous 8-seed in this situation.
